There’s some scandal stirring up at the swamp. It’s been reported that several castmembers of the History Channel’s reality series Swamp People were cut from season seven, which is currently in production.
Now, fans of the show are taking the series’ social media accounts to protest the changes.
Swamp People, which premiered in 2010, follows a group of Louisiana natives who hunt alligators in the Atchafalaya Swamp.
Back in August, castmembers Jeromy Pruitt, David LaDart, and Queen Gator Liz announced on their respective Facebook pages they would not be returning for season seven of the History Channel series.
Fans have expressed disappointment in reaction to the cast cuts, with some saying they will no longer watch the series. On the series’ official Facebook page, one fan commented, “Without Bruce, Ron, Willie, Junior and Liz the new season holds no interest.”
No word yet on when season seven will premiere.
From Jeromy Pruitt and David LaDart, on their Facebook page:
Just wanted to let everyone one know that we just got the call from Swamp People on History that we were cut from the show. We had a great time an met so many wonderful people. Thank you to all the fans. You haven’t seen the last of Jeromy Pruitt and David LaDart aka the SWAMP LEGENDS”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Swamp People? Will you watch the series without these castmembers?
I will never watch it again until the old people come back. That was very wrong to let go the only woman . so wrong show stinks now. she needs the money too
I totally agree. I like Frenchy and forgive me I forgot his partners name. NOt sure I like the Edgar’s. BY THE WAY have you noticed the change of opening of Season 7.
What happen to Liz. I watch the show because I love Liz It is not fair all men. what happen to women wrights
not everything has to be about women’s rights. so what if there isn’t a female on the show-big deal becky pickett
cky
Totally agree. That is a violation of Women’s rights I would think. But maybe they covered their behinds by letting Jeromy and David go who I was just starting to,really like. I get a kick out of those two.
what happen to Liz. this is not fair all men. The reason I watch was because of Liz
I am so mad that Liz is no longer on the show. Why did u get rid of her and just have men that is not fair. what happen to women wrights
Really miss Liz and family, Glenn, David and Jeromy and the Edwards family.
WONT WATCH WITH NEW CAST
Dorien Edgar
Robert “Frenchy” Crochet
Gee Singleton
Gerard “Gee” Singleton
THEY ARE TO BORING
Won’t watch without Willy. Who cares for Da or the grandfather? Not me.
The da and pa gets confusing.
New season is disappointing, miss Ms Liz, love Willie, but the PC Edgar’s are just that! New company has ruined the very heart of Swampers. These were originally people who lived off the swamp. Their stories were original and real, not phony which is the story line now.
I love the new show and have from the very first episode. This season is great – love the Edgars and Frenchy & Gee. Troy’s family are all wonderful people and great roll models. Please reconsider your decision to cancel.
It is crazy making these changes. They are what makes the show Liz is always helping out Troy when needed. She is a major part of the show.
You already canceled another of my shows Rick’s Restoration
I guess we will need to find another channel to watch and Boycott the History Channel.
Good idea on Boycott since my,husband is a big follower of Destination America. And absolutely loves Wheeler Dealers. We find ourselves using a lot of British words
Please bring all of the swamp people back,every person brings something special to the show.
Too bad this post is not more easily accessed. If it were I am sure the response would be overwhelming.
So true Bev
I agree. Very disappointed in the new season. Not worth watching since the old castmembers were cut. They made the show.
Very disappointed with the new season. Why “try” to fix something that wasn’t broken? I used to set my DVR to tape the show, but now, if I miss it, it’s not a big deal. Sad.
Hey folks, these cuts are so not good for us folks that enjoy seeing the original cast members. We live this show, but are certainly not impressed with the couple new replacements and really miss seeing Liz, Bruce, Jr. and the Landry boys. You’ve really messed up a sensational show and it’s just not as much action packed, crazy gator hauling fun. Please reconsider this bad choice you made and get our gator people back in action for us all. Thank you. So of your true loyal fans from the North.
